Summary

I am a Generation Y professional, which is evident in my varied interests and pursuits. My goal is to change the world by encouraging and empowering individuals to pursue their passions and to invest in their communities. The world would be a fundamentally different place if people were trained and provided with the resources to "run in their lane." Specialties: Creative consulting, career counseling, resume writing & critiquing, writing (PR, idea pitches, proposals, etc...), professional development training and photography (event and portrait).

Portfolio

Promotional video geared towards major-changers and undecided students. This video was meant to capture the interest of, and inform the aforementioned student populations about the free services available to them.
I conceptualized, planned, organized, partially filmed, and edited this project.

QR Code

Introduced QR Coding for office's website and blog. This QR code was adopted and implemented on entire staff's business cards.

Student Athlete Sample Resume

This is a sample resume that I created in order to address our population of student athletes.
The issue: Student athletes complete 4-5 years of schooling with 0 years of formal job experience. When it comes to apply for a job, they have no idea what to put on their resume.
The solution: I created a sample resume utilizing their experiences as a student athlete by highlighting their transferrable skills.
